Switching Between Synchronized and Desynchronized Modes of Parent-Child Objects

To switch between synchronized and desynchronized modes of parent-child objects in the Objects and Grids panels, use any of the following methods:

• Use the pteApplyParentState environment variable.
• Use the pteSetOptionString SKILL function.
• Use the CIW to run the following commands:
  

  pteOpenForm("Options")

  pteOptionForm->objectGridSynchro->value = t

  pteOptionForm->OK->value = t

• Use the Options form.
  In the Options form, the Sync visibility/selectability by parent check box is selected by default, which implies that the parent and child items are in the synchronized state. Deselect the check box to switch to the desynchronized state of parent-child items.
